You just set this on the coals of a fire, shovel a few coals on top, and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour (depending largely on the size of your potato chunks). You could do this with any ground meat from last year&#8217;s hunt, or even chunks of good muscle from a rump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-more-recipe-coyote-it-s-what-s-for-dinner\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-coyote-its-whats-for-dinner\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt-365-simple-gourmet-hobo-dinner-with-mountain-lobster\" title=\"Simple Gourmet: Hobo Dinner with Mountain Lobster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RECIPE &#8211; Coyote: It&#8217;s What&#8217;s For Dinner<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids love to do hobo dinners because they make their own and they eat it out of the foil it cooked it.

Compared to farmed crayfish or those from muddy ponds and streams, high mountain crayfish are exceptionally clean and don&#8217;t need purging. Just pour fresh water on them and give them a swish in the bucket they&#8217;ll be good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your fire or get a heap of briquettes started. You&#8217;ll need coals to surround your dinners and it&#8217;s miserable to have the food ready and the fire not ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dice the veggies pretty small They are the things that take the longest to cook, and they are things that are usually undercooked in a hobo dinner. Make potatoes the size of your pinky nail and slice carrots thin. Pat your ground meat into a chunk that is evenly thick so it cooks evenly. Place all this on a sheet of foil, season it, add some butter or cooking, and then wrap it over itself so it&#8217;s sealed up. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Simple Gourmet: Hobo Dinner with Mountain Lobster\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Hobo_Dinner_Crawdad_Crayfish_Levi_Sim-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetables all set up in tin foil ready to be made into hobo dinner\" class=\"wp-image-182749\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Use a bowl to help contain the crayfish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crawdads-make-it-a-mountain-style-hobo-dinner\">Crawdads Make It A Mountain-Style Hobo Dinner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For crawdads, put the foil sheet in a bowl so the crawdads can&#8217;t crawl away while you&#8217;re wrapping them up.

Turn the packets 180 degrees every 7 minutes so that the side facing the fire doesn&#8217;t get too hot and burn.

Make sure the crawdads are bright red all over and cook longer if they&#8217;re still blue or brown anywhere. You can apply coals the specific spots that aren&#8217;t red yet. For meat, make sure the potatoes are soft and dig in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eating-your-hobo-dinner\">Eating Your Hobo Dinner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To eat the crayfish, hold the tail and the midsection behind the head in each hand and twist 1\/4 turn. The tail will come away, then just peel a couple of the sections back like a shrimp and eat the white meat inside. Large crawdads have large claws that may be worth trying to crack the meat out of the thickest part of the claw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dip it in the butter in the bottom of the foil and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please share your favorite Hobo dinner setups in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Simple Gourmet: Hobo Dinner with Mountain Lobster\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Hobo_Dinner_Crawdad_Crayfish_Levi_Sim-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Simple Gourmet: Hobo Dinner with Mountain Lobster\" class=\"wp-image-182748\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt-365-simple-gourmet-hobo-dinner-with-mountain-lobster\" title=\"Simple Gourmet: Hobo Dinner with Mountain Lobster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kids love to do hobo dinners because they make their own and they eat it out of the foil it cooked it.
